Lord’s fourth album, Virgin, was released this summer after the singer took a little break with new music. She told Radio 1 in May that she was motivated after working with Charli XCX on “Girl, So Unsusing.”
“The fact that Brat came out really gave me a kick,” she shared. “Meeting her in a robust vulnerability place and the things people really respond to that were saying, ‘OK COOL, this is a good thing.’ ”
Lord said, “I’m really struggling with this of not feeling my strength… and the remix started me. “No, people are listening, they care, and your words carry real weight.” ”

“Charli defined everything about Brat so skillfully that I was forced to define more of what I was doing,” she continued. “And when the peers throw away the gauntlet like that, it’s so amazing. We have to pick it up.
The artist explained that the new album should sound very different to the 2021 solar power generation, saying, “It’s about going to the core of who I am in the purest way possible, stripping away the unnecessary things.”
